Hundreds of us Indians
emigrate every year: for higher education, lucrative jobs, better lifestyle and
to join our spouses abroad. As we inch closer to our goals, dreams become a
reality propelling us into the orbit of success. In this process we leave behind
all that we wished to escape in India, but at the same time knowingly or
unknowingly, we leave behind our biggest treasure - our parents.

These are the folks who
toiled away several years of their youth, spent a chunk of their retirement
savings, took out loans and made sure they left no stone unturned to get us to
our destination.

Here is a look behind the
scenes at the lives of parents of non-resident Indians (NRI). Once the children
have flown the nest, after the initial euphoria has settled, realization dawns
that one's children are thousands miles away. Several hours of travel time
away. The anxiety of being away from one's children in times of illness and
emergencies sets in. Moreover, worry for the safety and wellness of their
children takes over their minds. Regular phone calls are reassuring but knowing
that one cannot aid or be aided, long distance, by near and dear ones in times
of need, plays on the mind, time and again

Simple chores and mundane errands
like going to the bank, standing in queue for a gas cylinder or paying a bill
become a challenge. Going to the doctor or dentist becomes an ordeal. They are
lucky if still fit and healthy to live on their own and if other children live
close by. Otherwise, NRI parents have to depend on neighbours, other relatives
and friends who cannot and are not willing to take on the responsibility of the
children. Then there is the social loneliness. No one to celebrate festivals
with, no one to cook special meals for, Mother's Day and Father's day all
celebrated long distance, via Skype and flowers dispatched by online couriers.

Though nothing can
ever replace the presence of their children besides them at an elderly age, but
